Well, to beat somebody's lap after watching his replay isn't a hard task (and 20 years later! ;D ).

Hello my friends,

0110111 = 7
0111000 = 8
0100000 = space
1010111 = W
1001001 = I
1001110 = N
1010011 = S

Tree work, 7 columns binary code

Brain work wins.

Central tree formation meant to be a hourglass? It's a cup.

If you decode the cactus + palm tree formation on he lower left it reads :

 1010011 = 83
 0110111 = 55

binary code translates 83 to "S" and 55 to "7". Flip the S and it becomes a 2.

That's a 27. It relates to the 27 wins for Argammon thru the ages from 06 to 26.

But Argammon started at zakstunts in september 2001 and earned 6 wins from 2002 to 2004. GG for that career record, my friend.

But those are not the intended code for ice drawn characters "06" and "26": there's an easter challenge at Z302: we have to beat Ayrton's 1:21.05 with a slightly different track and a Porsche Carrera.

Good luck!

I'm away from my Dosbox-equipped laptop these days, so I'll play with the track by doing some exegesis.

"79 vs 78": track ZCT079 was Default, while 078 was Brain Work. The right half of the track might be seen as Argammon's reinterpretation of Brain Work? but the left part is 067 as stated by Argammon himself.

Is the central tree formation supposed to be a hourglass? This would be consistent with the title. But what about the trees west of it?

For now, more questions than answers. Maybe veteran Zakstunters will be able to make more progress in the decryption.

The concept of this track is to add a brand new way (Way 2) to the spiral (Way 1) from https://zak.stunts.hu/tracks/ZCT067.

The simple rule is that it is not allowed to switch from Way 1 to Way 2 or vice versa. However, it is allowed to use dual-way switching within Way 2. The picture below shows some examples of what is allowed and what is not:

ZCT302.jpg

The dual-way switches indicated by the red and yellow arrows are not allowed. That's because one switches from Way 1 to Way 2 or the other way round. Note that the red arrow in particular cuts most of the track.

The purple arrows indicate allowed dual-way switches that occur strictly within Way 2.

Another recent finding about sound and music modification on GPC:

Can this somehow be related to any previous post messages?

Hello my friends,

I think team points for every rider is a good idea.

Looking forward to next year championship.

Before August wraps up, here is the ZCT300 update of the rankings! We gladly saw many comebacks for #300, with afullo, Bonzai Joe, Daniel3D, Friker, KyLiE, Overdrijf, Shorty and Zak McKracken back into the current ranking. Some big swings in such a busy race, with the biggest gains being by Ryoma at +59. Personal best ratings were reached by Alain, MiDiaN (into the historical top 3!!) and RC Bandit. Below is the updated evolution chart:

I propose a rule starting next year to take into account team points for all riders, not just the top two. This will increase the interest in team competitions and motivate riders to join teams.

Great find! Developer Roel Derickx had published some initial research on the music (https://github.com/roelderickx/retro-grandprix), but your work is the first one that really documents the format. Also, At Doom's Gate is a really fit replacement for TD2's start menu.
